Cripps almost did and we were performing worse at the time.

In reality though, who is taking votes of Walsh?

I'm surprised by how often McKay gets AFLCA votes, it is our coach or theirs?

I think Walsh should be comfortable B&F winner this year, Weitering second and then some margin to 3rd, but you never know.

But I can't see Walsh winning the Brownlow, his inside game style isn't the type umpires often notice, he is not like Judd winning footy and breaking free. But I'll be happy to be wrong.

I think someone like Bontempelli will win the Brownlow. Walsh should still poll very well.

Defenders don't often get votes.

Harry, for all his goals, has dominated very few games. In a lot of games he is soundly beaten but for a quarter where he kicks 3 or 4.
7 against the dockers will get him votes (Walsh had 33 and 1 goal), maybe 6 goals agaisnt the lions (Walsh had 37)
how many other games?

Weve won 5 games.  All he has to do is dis lodge him from the best on ground performance and thats all she wrote.

Watch Touk Miller poll off the charts, flying under the radar for Melbourne footy fans, but is having an A+ season and has that X-Factor.

Having a Robert Harvey like season for GC.

Yes, he could be right in the mix.

5?

Were the other 3 in the win column gifted to us via forfeit?

Will get a lot of one votes IMHO as the winning teams usually contain the three voters....
I think Petracca and the Bont are the ones to beat....

Bontempelli, is an elite , splendid footballer most games, rarely has a quite game, he certainly deserves to win the Brownlow.
Sam Walsh will to well for a youngster, just watch in couple of years time.

Yep,  he'll probably even win it at his next club.  Because seriously, why would he stay at this ****ed one.  For starters,  he's one of the few players with an AFL standard work rate.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Despite his age, I would add Ed Curnow as having AFL standard work rate.

Wonder how the Bont would have gone if we'd drafted him?
Reality always wins in the end.
